"Just think of the tragedy of teaching children not to doubt."— Clarence Darrow

Alex, my cat, almost never seems to be interested in television, though the soundtracks of any programs broadcast in surround sound, and especially those in Dolby Digital, often do produce a reaction. However, he is often fascinated by animated computer games–The Sims Online especially captures his attention.

I recorded the new Lifetime program, Meow TV, allegedly for people and their cats, but Alex showed great intelligence and taste through his complete and almost disdainful disinterest in what turned out to be not just bad but dreadfully and almost singularly wretched.

At the moment, though, Ice Age is playing from the TiVo, and something about it seems to have drawn his interest.
